Jennifer Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Can we get Dicrossus maculatus here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have never seen them (that does not mean they are not allowed nor in the country though) but have seen Crenicara filamentosa or Dicrossus filamentosa which are awesome little fish..

Excellent! I would be very interested in either of those. Are they on the list very often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 They are the same fish the name has just been changed several times.. They don't come in very often, the importer that brought in some of the latest german bred fish tried to bring some in but they didn't make it through quarantine according to the hollywoods thread. There are some sitting in a tank in Christchurch that I am waiting for the owner to breed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Cheers Ryan. I will just have to be patient then. It seems to be feast or famine with the fishlists. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navarre Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 So for the less subtle. yes I couldnt leave it alone I imported ten of these about 12 months ago One was lost is shipping and the rest were taken to my room I gave four away and they have since been removed from any possible breeding program I have two pairs I think left and they go thru the motions about once a month or so but I just can not get them to raise fry. So it is a work in progress. Stunning fish in the flesh and no pictures I have seen do them justice If an importer can gather more then I am up for it first of the rank. Mine are filamentosa as maculata are rarer in the hobby and is a location based varient. Both are very nice fish and well are a work in process...hmmmm Thats about it really Nav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Here is a cool video of some in the wild. http://www.aquanet.tv/Video/173 It is in German but it is worth the watch. The good part starts after about 2 mins. Let it download then watch it. The first two minutes is just general info about the area. Its well worth the wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
